And like I said before: Jon, it would be absolutely brilliant if you'd make this project the ultimate 'abandoned DC movies doc' and would show us costumes from Justice League: Mortal, Ratner's FlyBy, McG's FlyBy... It's depressing we didn't see them yet. :(

Thanks for also giving updates on AMC Movie Talk. It's always a cool bonus when John Campea asks how this project is going. Your definitely the comedian of the group which I really appreciate when listening to the show.

I'm really looking forward to your documentary. I moved at least two times since this Kickstarter began and was wondering if you will send out a survey before the this ships, so that I will have the opportunity to change my shipping address. Thank you!

I've been getting this set up for the last eight months, and needed to be extra secretive and not announce it or speak about it to anyone, since the interview was not "in the can" yet.

Well, I just travelled to London, England, and shot an incredible interview with Tim Burton in his home, all about his never completed film "Superman Lives", with his unique insight on this project.

Jon Schnepp & Tim Burton!!!
This documentary just got the key person I've intended on speaking with since I started this journey last March. Now we are going to get the last few important interviews in April and May, and get the finishing funds raised to make this documentary as special as it should be. Please contribute an additional donation for finishing funds here:

I love how passionate you are about this documentary, i really hope you get the extra funds you want. Donated to the site as well :D Thanks for all the updates, take your time, this is going to be awesome!

This Saturday, March 15, in the NerdMelt Showroom, in the back of Meltdown Comics, I will be selling my entire comic book collection, comics from the 70s, 80s, 90s, right up to current series. Fantastic Four, Batman, Spiderman, Avengers, Superman, Daredevil, X-Men, tons of independents, and lots of eclectic weirdo books! My personal comic book stash, that I've handpicked over the last 30 plus years, most of them for a buck a pop. I'll also have a bunch of toys (action figures like Justice League and StarWars) and lots of my own original art to be bought. I'll also be doing art commisions, which I rarely do, so if you want a character drawn up in my own artistic flavor, now would be the time.

Why am I doing this??? Because I really am going to be making the extra scenes, animations, storyboard recreations, and more for my Feature Film Documentary that you all helped fund, "The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?" You can make a donation right now at my website to help me make these additional scenes, storyboard recreations, graphics and more right now: http://www.schneppzone.com/supermanlives/

Come on down if you are in the Los Angeles Area, and donate to the cause, buy some awesome comics for a great price, and say hi.

Repost this on your Twitter and Facebook and share it with all your friends. Please let them know they can become a "Finishing Funder" in the credits of the feature film, and they can donate now:

I'm in the final three months of Production, starting on Post in April, and I'm asking my supporters of this project for some additional help with Finishing Funds, to go above and beyond for the Documentary with Animations, Recreation Scenes. I didn't raise all the money I was needing for the stretch goals, but I'm making them anyway, so help if you can. I'll have a really big announcement, the biggest of this entire film, at the end of this month, along with some INCREDIBLE new footage. I'm asking the Kickstarters who've helped already to put in a little more if they can. Please donate as a "Finishing Funder", and receive addtl credits as a Finishing Funder in the feature film. Thanks for the support and donate now at the link below:

Well, the trailer is being pushed back for a good two months, my apologies. I know everyone of you is excited to see more of what I've been making, but I just got two upcoming interviews that I simply MUST WAIT till I can release a proper trailer. I do not want to announce them just yet, but will in the coming weeks. I will be putting out another much shorter teaser this weekend, announcing the official release date of the feature film for August 1st, 2014. Thank you, especially all you backers who have helped me in making this.

Hey Jon,
Thanks for the update… I think all of us backers understand your situation. Take the time you need to fulfill your personal obligations, and don’t worry if the new trailer is delayed a bit. We look forward to seeing it, when it’s ready. Here's hoping that everything going on in your life works out for the better!

New Update: Due to some unfortunate circumstances with my girlfriend being in the hospital with severe complications, as well as job duties, I will have to delay the premiere of the trailer for a few weeks. I've set the new trailer release for Jan. 31st, which is two weeks past Jan 15th. I just have not had enough time between work and hospital visits to get this right, and I don't want to release it till It's right. Thanks for the patience, I'm sure you all understand.

I was just listening to this podcast on Superman Lives, and this documentary was mentioned. The people doing the podcast made an interesting suggestion. For the recreation scenes, if they are done with miniature and animation, you could have Nicolas Cage do voice acting for Kal El. How awesome would that be. Then Nicolas Cage would get to play Superman. What do you guys think?

Hello everyone!!! As we close out 2013, I just want to thank you all and give you some updates on the progress of "The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?" Documentary. I'm very excited to be in Full Production, and heading into Post-Production in February and March.

I've just completed two more interviews with Artists Tim Burgard and Rolf Mohr, who both worked on designs for the now legendary "Giant Spider" sequence from the project. They were great and insightful interviews, and I'm looking forward to putting them into the film. I'm still shooting many more interviews, with several more scheduled for January and February.

I know many of you have been asking me about the film, and when is it going to be finished so you can see it. I'm aiming on having it out and available in the summer of 2014.

I'm pleased to announce that the official Full length Trailer for "The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?"
